Abstract: A bottle shape is provided that allows for volume-reducing deformation of a peripheral wall of the body, while maintaining stable posture of the bottle by making use of a combination of a refill container and a regularly used container having an upright discharge cylinder segment. The body is formed to have a thin peripheral wall so that volume-reducing deformation would take place along with the depressurization going on inside the bottle. The peripheral wall has three ridge lines formed in a mountain fold at approximately equal intervals in the vertical direction and has three panel walls connected to one another. Each panel wall is bordered by two adjacent ridge lines, and has a valley fold line that diagonally connects an upper end of one ridge line to a lower end of another adjacent ridge line so that three valley fold lines are disposed obliquely in parallel along a circumferential direction.

Abstract: An engine shut-down device, which protects a portable working machine from static electricity discharge damage, is provided. In the portable working machine, engine operation can be stopped by switching or forcing a short-circuit at a primary coil in the ignition unit of the engine. The engine shut-down device, includes a manually operable ON/OFF switch for switching or forcing the short-circuit, and an conductive ground-mounting plate that is interposed between a switch operating member and a main switch body. The ground-mounting plate is electrically grounded at a designated electric grounding portion of the engine. Static electricity accumulated in the working machine can discharge via a path running directly from the ground-mounting plate to ground avoiding harmful passage through the ignition unit.
